ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

  • Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
    Special edition paper Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building Atsushi Hayashi* Isamu Suzuki** Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building is a huge structure—an over 330 m-long and three-story high brick building completed as the central station of Tokyo about 100 years ago. The roof and the inside were burnt down in 1945 during World War II, and it had existed in a temporarily restored form since then. For the purpose of preservation and restoration of the building to its original appearance, an isolation system was adopted. Although the building has a complex location relative to nearby structures, as many as 352 isolators with 158 oil dampers have made it possible to control the shaking of the building. This work was carried out safely while many passengers used one of Japan's largest terminal stations every day. •Keywords: Preservation and restoration, Steel frame brick structure, Seismic isolation structure, Oil damper, Inverted construction method 1 Introduction had hotel guest rooms and restaurants on the southern half and Government Railway offices on the northern half. Advancement of urban functions and “formation of an urban space that makes the most of history and culture” are being promoted in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district with an aim of Tokyo being a “world-leading international city that is attractive and lively.” Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building bears a particularly important role in railway architectural history, presenting a “face” Fig. 1 Original Exterior View for the capitol of Tokyo.
